Serial No. 13,985. No m del-1 To (ZZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that l, GEORGE IllENoKEL,a citizen of the United States,residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton, in the State of Ohio,have invented a certain new and useful. Improvement in AdvertisingPouches or Pockets, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

My invention relates to an improvement in pouches or pockets moreespecially adapted for the reception of cigars and the like and isprincipally designed for use as an advertising medium, for which purposeit must be inexpensive in construction. I therefore profor to constructthe pouch or pocket of paper, though of course it maybe made of anydesirable material.

The object of the invention is v to produce an advertising device inwhich a portion or all of the advertising matter or information may bepartially or entirely concealed from. view, but which will by reason ofitspeculiar character attract the attention of the investigator anddirect his attention to the matter or'information desired to be conveyedto him, and the construction and peculiarities-of the pouch or pocketwill be more fully hereinafter set forth.

In. the drawings which form a part of my specification, Figure l is aperspective view ofmy improved pouch or pocket. Fig. 2 is a verticalsectional view of same, taken on the line 2 2 of] Fig. I. Fig. 3 is asimilar view with the slide pulled out. Fig. 4 is a front View of myimproved pouch, which for the purpose of illustration is provided with aportion of a figure, while the slide is provided with another figure, aportion of which ,registers with the portion on the pouch. Fig. 5 is asimilar view with the slide slightly pulled out.

7 nor,

lone portion of the sheet forming one of the faces is cut or madeshorter than the other and the extending portion a of the other, Figs. 2and 3, secured to the opposite face A by glue or other suitable adhesivesubstance and preferably on the inside of the pouch or pocket, thusleaving a smooth and unbroken surface. v

I provide the pouch with a slide 0, which slides down in between and isheld in place by the bellowsfolds a, as can clearly be seen in Fig. 1.In order that this'slide C may be readily grasped when it is desired towithdraw it, I prefer to make it extend slightly beyond the topof thepouch, as shown. in

Figs. 1', 2, and 4, though of course there are other ways in which thesame result may be attained. To prevent the slide Obeing entirelywithdrawn from the pouch or pocket, and thus apt to' become lost anddestroy the essential characteristic of my vinvention, I provide theslide 0 with a substantially-perpendicular flange d on the side of theslide 0 which is adjacent the face of the pouch or pocket.

down into the pocket, thus reinforcing the top, and the folded-inportion 6 on the face adjacent the flange side of the slide permitted toextend slightly away from. the wall or side of the pocket, so that whenthe slide is pulled out the flange d on the slide 0 will engage with theturned-in portion e, and thus prevent the entire withdrawal of theslide.

Instead of having the entire top of the pouch overlap, as shown anddescribed, the top portion adjacent the slidemay simply be provided witha strip so arranged as to engage with the flange onthe slide and preventthe with- 'drawal.

The purposeof my invention is to use the pouch or pocket as anadvertising medium. The face of the pocket may have any suitableinscription or picture complete in itself, and the slide 0 also beprovided with any desirable picture or inscription, or the respectivepictures or inscriptions on the pouch and slide may be fragmentary andincomplete in themselves, or the design on the pouch be incompletc-andthe slide portion'of which will be exposed when the side, or, asillustrated in Figs, 2 and 3, the

slide is in its normal position, and this exprovided with a design, a

The top of the pouch or pocket may be folded posed portion register withthe fragmentary design on the pocket-Pas, forinstance, I have shown inFigs; 4 and 5-and the nature of the inscription or picture be such as toarouse the curiosity of the observer, and thus induce him to withdrawthe slide, thereby bringing to is inserted, as shown in Fig. 4, showsthe girl in full attire, but upon withdrawing the slide 0, as shown inFig. 5, the figure is shown dcollet. It will of course be understoodthat any desi-rable inscription or design may be provided inentary partof the advertising matter vie on the pouch, and the matter maybearranged in a different manner from that shown and I do not limit myselfto the exact representation or manner of arranging same, as illus-jinstead in the drawings; but

What I doclaim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. An advertising device consisting of a collapsible pouch or pocket,and a removable slide arranged to pass between and held in place by thefolds and wall of the pocket, said removable slide adapted to containadvertising matter, so arranged as to have a fragble when the slide isin its normal position, substantially as shown and for the purposedescribed.

2. An advertising device consisting ofa rectangular paper pouch orpocket arranged to collapse and havin a fragmentary design on its face,a removab e slide arranged to pass between and be held in place by thefolds and one of the walls of the pocket said slide adapted to containany suitable design, the slide when in its normal position arranged topartially protrude from said pocket, and the imprint on the pocketand'said slide when in its normal position, producinga design of a certainconfiguration which is altered upon the withdrawal of said slide,substantially as shown and for the purpose described.

3. In an advertising device, a rectangular pouch or pocket arranged tocollapse and havinga fragmentary design on its face, said pocketreinforced at its inner upper edge by an overlapping portion of thewalls, in com bination with a removable slide adapted to contain anysuitable design, and provided with a substantially-perpendicular flangeon its lower end, said slideheld in place by and arranged to slidebetween the. folds of the pocket and its side wall; the flange on saidslide being intermediate the slide and wall and engaging with theoverlapping strip at the pocket top when the slide is withdrawn; theslide with a portion of :its design normally extending slightly beyondthe pocket top, the portion of the imprint thus exposed and thefragmentary design on said pocket conjointly producing a'coinpletedesign of one configuration, and the withdrawal of the slide producinganother, substantially as and in the manner described.

- 4. Inan advertising device, a rectangular pouch or pocket, having afragmentary de sign on its face, said pocket provided on its insideupper edge with a flange or rim, in combination with a removable slideadapted to contain any suitable design, of means intermediate the lowerend of said slide and the pocket-Wall to engage with said top rim toprevent the entire withdrawal of said slide,

' the slide and a portion of its design normally extending beyond thepocket top, the exposed portion of said slide design and the fragmentarydesign of'the pocket conjointly producing a complete design of oneconfiguration, the withdrawal of the slide auother,substantially as andin the manner described.

5. An advertising-pouch comprising a removable slide, with meansintermediate the top of the pouch and the lower end of said slide toprevent its entire withdrawal, the pouch and slide rovided with anysuitable design, and'the s ide normally extending beyond the pouch top;the fragmentary deeigggisa thus exposed to view conjointly prodneingacomplete design of one configuration, which is altered upon thewithdrawal of the slide,
